Textile Fun

Had a great time this morning playing with my new Paverpol textile hardener. It's a bit like PVA glue - all white, sticky and messy - but dries transparent and rock hard. I managed to get it all over me and the kitchen, as well the textiles, but what fun! It's usually used to make figures or sculptures using fabric but I made a couple of very nice linen and lace bowls. I have to wait about a week for them to fully harden off, but they'll then be suitable for indoor or outdoor use. Now what else can I use it on.......? (keep it clean please!!)

About Me

I'm a textile addict and a photoholic with itchy feet! My dream job would be sourcing unusual and beautiful textiles from around the world...and taking photos along the way. I love traditional and contemporary crafts and I'd like to see more outlets that support, celebrate and encourage the diverse talents and skills of British artists, designers and makers. Buying handmade means buying high-quality, original products that last, so ditch the mass-produced and choose something beautiful instead.
